Before you begin:

 This amigurumi/plush is worked in continuous rounds. Mark the beginning
of each round with a stitch marker.
 Use the “magic ring” when starting rounds, there are many youtube
videos teaching how to magic ring or magic circle. This is an alternate
method: ch2, sc x6 (or number of sts noted) in 2nd ch from hook, sl st to
join. Continue on in rounds as noted above.
 Gauge is not important in this project as long as you are consistent with
your tension.
 This project is made with all sc stitches unless otherwise specified.
 TIP: Always change colors in the stitch BEFORE the color change by
pulling the new color through the 2 loops, thus beginning with the correct
color on your hook!

R1: Pick up both legs, face feet so they are pointing in the same direction and
away from you. Insert hook in middle stitches and sc legs together, make one
more sc between the legs (this second sc should come towards your body)

count. The next stitch you make will be in the leg on your left and this will be
the beginning stitch so place your stitch marker here. Continue around left leg
and then go around right leg. You want to be working from the back so your
color changes don’t show. (52)
